Hi all, I know this thread is a year old but I am hoping to get some helpful suggestions. I brought a birkin so black 35 last week from a reseller. When I received the bag today, I found out it is an empolyee sale bag because of the s+numbers below the "Hermes print" in the front of the bag. Of course, I paid a lot for it as it is a rare birkin, limited edition. The seller didn't disclose this fact in the description. I read this thread and I know that empolyee sale price is much lower than retail price but the re-selling price for this particular Birkin is very high. I think it was priced as if it was not a empolyee sale bag. I am having a conflict feelings. I have been searching for birkin so black for long time, I saw this one and I bought it. For me, it looked in very good condition. I want to keep it but s stamp bothers me. I am afraid that I won't find another one for a long time. What should I do?

I wouldn't pay market price for a bag with a sale stamp. PrivePorter has a So Black right now (high price of course)...they are not all that rare. You will find one and, at that price, you should be thrilled with your bag.

Dear QuelleFromage, I thought about returning it last night and again this morning. I made up my mind after reading your message. I called the seller and will return today. I have seen the one by PvivePorte. Price is too high for me so I passed it. HA auctions has one 30 and one 35. I lost my bid on the 30. Since I am returning this one, I may go back to HA to bid on the 35. If you do see a one so black birkin 30 or 35, please let me know. Thank you again.
